That brings us to 36.3 inches of snow for the season, slightly below the Poconos average of 45 inches, Gelber said.

Wednesday at 7:02 a.m. is the official arrival of spring, or the vernal equinox (“equal night” for about 12 hours of daylight anywhere around the globe).

Even though the calendar says it's spring, Gelber says we're not done with done with winter.

“The long-range jet stream pattern suggests a continuation of below-normal temperatures into early April, due to a blocking configuration known as the Greenland High that prevents cold air from moving west to east from Canada to the North Atlantic,” Gelber said.

“This pattern resembles the circulation we experienced through much of the winter of 2009-10 and part of 2010-11, when we had moderate to heavy snowfalls and frequent cold blasts.”

By contrast last year on March 19 we had a high of 77 degrees. On March 20, we hit 76 degrees, or about 40 degrees warmer than we will be the next couple of days.
